One of the best ways to attract home buyers in Albuquerque is with a beautiful garden. When they drive up to your home, they'll be compelled to look further when they see the vibrant array of plants. However, what if you can't spend a fortune to create a huge garden? You still can have a beautiful garden with the right motivation, budgeting and understanding of your landscape's limitations and strengths.
Here are a few tips to help you create a garden on a limited budget that will help attract buyers:
Grow Your Own
Starting your garden from seed can save you a lot of money, as long as you have the patience to wait for them to grow. Seeds typically cost between $1 - $5 per packet, and you can grow many flowers from those packets. By contrast, a full-grown plant costs between $10 and $50. This demonstrates how easy it is to save money by sowing seeds.
Rock Up
You can probably find plenty of rocks in your yard to use in your garden. You can build a small border that will look natural. And if you don't have enough rocks, consider buying some for cheap.
Fairy Lights
At night, lights will really make your garden stand out. You can find solar-charging lights at reasonable prices for your garden.
Upcycle Furniture
Do you have any old furniture that you could refurbish? Maybe you can get a piece or two from a thrift store? Rather than bringing in new furniture for your garden, you can fix up your old furniture.
Rusty metals can be removed from outdoor furniture easily, just use acidic ingredients such as baking soda or coca-cola to remove them with a rag. Old wooden benches could simply be sanded or have some of the slats replaced.
Fill with Pots
Pots can add beauty to any garden. Pots are inexpensive and can be filled with your seedlings to create an aesthetically pleasing landscape. You can place them next to the front door to welcome buyers.
Grow Upwards
An effective trellis can make a big impact with your budget garden. You can plant roses or lilacs to make a stunning vertical display.
Gravel It
Don't buy expensive paving stones or high-end gravel. You can create a chic garden with this durable product at an affordable price. It's modern, minimalistic and on-trend.
You can also purchase paving slabs to decorate the gravel if you so desire.
With just these few tips, you can help get your home ready to sell to Albuquerque home buyers. And the best part is that you won't have to spend a ton of money to make it happen.
